New  York,  October  27,  1916. 

To  TIIK   BOAKD  OF   ESTIMATE   ANU   ApPOUTIONMKNT  : 

Gentlemen — 

I  herewith  submit  statements  upon  whicli  tlie  Board  may  predicate  its 
action  in  complvinj^  with  the  requirements  of  Section  248  of  the  Greater  New 
York  Charter  as  amended  by  Chapter  209  of  the  Laws  of  1906,  viz.,  in  deter- 
mining: the  appropriation  for  deficiencies  in  taxes  to  l)e  inchided  in  the  budget 
of  1917. 

The  section  referred  to  requires  that — 

"  The  board  of  estimate  and  apportionment  sliall  *  *  *  an- 
nually include  in  its  final  estimate  the  following  sum  which  shall 
annually  be  raised  and  appropriated:  A  .sum  equal  to  so  much  of  the 
deficiency,  on  the  preceding  first  day  of  January,  in  the  product  of  taxes 
theretofore  levied  and  deemed  by  the  board  to  be  uncollectible  as  shall 
not  have  been  provided  for  in  prior  tax  levies  or  by  the  issue  of  corpo- 
rate stock  of  the  City  of  New  York,  or  by  such  corporate  stock  duly 
authfirizcd  by  said  board  to  be  issued." 

The  statements  herewith  submitted  consist  of  the  following: 

Table  "  A  " — I'.alancc  sheet,  setting  forth  the  condition  of  the  tax  levies 
of  the  years  1905  to  1915  inclusive  as  at  the  opening 
of  business  January  1,  1916. 

Table  "B" Amjilifying  Taljle  "A"  by  giving  the  totals  of  discounts, 

cancellations,  etc.,  agamst  each  year's  tax  levy,  and 
similarly  showing  the  amounts  added  to  each  year's 
tax  levy  or  budget  to  cover  deficiencies  in  the  product 
of  taxes  since  January  1,  1905,  thus  supporting  and 
giving  all  essential  particulars  with  respect  to  the 
totals  of  losses  and  gains  on  Table  "  A." 

Table  "C" — Operating  Statement,  summarizing  the  financing  of  the 
annual  budgets  of  1905  to  1915  inclusive  up  to 
December  31,  1915,  showing — 

(1)   the  total  budget  appropriations  for  these  years; 

(2j  the  total  payments  from  said  budgets  up  to  Decem- 
ber 3'. 1915; 

(3)  grand  aggregate  of  tax  levies  of  1905  to  1915  in- 
clusive; 


(4)  total  collections  therefrom  to  December  31,  1915; 

(5)  losses    by    discount,    cancellation,    and    deductions 

under  Section  48  of  the  Tax  Law  : 

(6)  the  uncollected  amount  as  of  December  31,  1915; 

(7)  the  net  amount  contributed  by  the  General   Fund 

to  finance  the  budgets  of  1905  to  1915;  and 

(8)  the    cash    used    for    similar    purposes    which  was 

derived  from  revenue  bonds  and  bills  outstand- 
ing December  31,  1915. 

Table  "D  " — Balance  sheet  as  at  December  31,  1915,  showing  the  status, 
as  at  said  date,  of  the  annual  budgets  (appropria- 
tions) of  1905  to  1915  inclusive. 

The  purpose  of  this  series  of  correlated  statements  is  to  show,  by  two 
methods  of  procedure,  the  accuracy  of  the  conclusions  reached,  viz. :  That 
on  the  first  day  of  Januar\'  of  the  present  year  there  was  a  deficiency  of 
$5,060,099.56  in  the  product  of  taxes  theretofore  levied  (since  January  1.  1905), 
and  deemed  to  be  uncollectible,  or,  in  round  figures,  a  deficiency  of  $5,000.0)00 
to  be  provided  in  the  budget  and  related  tax  levy  of  1917. 

J                     „   .       .  The  first  statement,  viz..  Table  "  A,"  deals  with 

Losses  and  Uams  m  j,^^  subject  bv  stating  the  losses  and  gains  of  the  tax 

lax  Levies  and  j^.^.j^^  ^j^^^^  Januarv  1.  1905,  bv  dividing  these  into  the 

Kesultant  Ueticit.  smallest  number  of  significant  elements : 

The  losses  of  a  tax  levy  consist  of  discounts ;  cancellations ;  the  amount 
of  taxes  which  may  subsequently  be  found  to  be  on  City  property  and  which 
therefore  must  be  provided  for  as  a  deficiency,  and  the  amount  of  taxes  still 
outstanding  which  are  deemed   to  be  uncollectible ;   in   brief,  are  uncollectible. 

The  gains  of  a  tax  levy  consist  of  the  amounts  which,  before  1907,  were' 
added  directly  to  the  tax  levy,  and  which,  since  1907,  have  been  added  to  the 
annual  tax  levies  through  appropriations  in  the  annual  budgets.  Small  addi- 
tional gains  also  come  from  increases  which  attach  to  the  many  thousands  of 
separate  items  on  the  rolls  whereby,  through  an  even  tax  rate  of  dollars  and 
cents,  a  sum  of  from  $200,000  to  $300,000  is  extended,  in  the  aggregate,  on  the 
tax  rolls  over  and  above  the  gross  total  of  the  theoretical  tax  levy. 

Table  "  B  "  is  merely  for  the  purpose  of  supporting  the  totals  on  Table 
"  A  "  by  showing  the  action  affecting  each  jear's  levy  with  respect  to  losses 
and  gains. 

Tables  "  C  "  and  "  D  "  are  designed  and  presented  for 
Financing  the  purpose  of  showing  the  operations  from  the  budget  point 

Tax  Budgets       of  view ;  in  other  words,  to  show  that  in  the  financing  up  to 
and  December  31,  1915,  of  the  annual  budgets  of  1905  to  1915 

Resultant  inclusive,  there  is  a  resultant  deficit  as  shown  by  the  Balance 

Deficit.  Sheet    (Table   "  D  ")    of  S5 .060.099. 56.  which   exactly  corre- 

sponds with  the  deficit  as  shown  on  Table  "  A,"  the  Balance 
Sheet  dealing  with  the  losses  and  gains  in  the  tax  levies. 

As  the  deficit  to  be  provided  in  the  budget  of  any  year  must  necessarily 
be  predicated  on  (1)  actual  losses  and  (2)  on  estimates  of  amounts  of  taxes 
outstanding  but  deemed  to  be  uncollectible,  it  would  be  sufficient,  to  carry  out 
the  rec|uirements  of  the  law,  to  place  an  even  sum  of  $5,000,0(X)  in  the  budget 
of  1917  to  provide  for  deficiencies  in  taxes. 

Yours  truly, 

(Signed)     W.M.   A.    PREXDERGAST, 

Comptroller,
